   Know that feeling.  Ah, seems to touch another thread you   
   and I were both involved in re running fish lines .  Been there done that   
   as they say.   
   For me that one would have been a fairly simple job here   
   running a 220v line for the audio truck, as my power distro   
   is outside my back door.

   Or leave it be, plug 'em both in, but only use the   
   compressor if the dryer's not running.  That might be an   
   idea for ya, although a compromise.
